I can definitely spend 2k to 4k a year on repairs. I just wasn't expecting these repairs to come all at once which I can't afford this minute.

If you do decide to keep it - like someone before said - start reading. Use to learn the search function. You've already asked about oil which has been discussed over and over and over and over again.....
I've done a lot of research already, and plan on reading some more. Unfortunately I can't return the car. I even tried to get the dealer to at least fix the tires but no hope.

I plan to get the tires plugged tomorrow and do the oil change myself Friday. I bought everything I needed I'm not gonna mess with radio right now and save money for the IMS and clutch parts and tools. I should have enough money in a about 1 -2 months, hoping the oil change bought me some time. I also have that time to do more research and read. Hell I'll even get a 2nd part time job in the evenings if needed. I really want this car!
